Bellybutton piercing
Hi, I had my bellybutton pierced for about 2 and a half years, then one day about 4-5 months ago my bellybutton ring fell out and I lost it in the shower. I didn't have one in until yesterday when I bought a new one. The pierced hole was still there except a little tighter so I struggled to get it through. I eventually got it through but it hurt a little bit and today I bought sea salt and I'm going to start soaking it twice a day for at least a week to hopefully prevent it from getting infected. Was forcing the ring in a small hole a bad thing and will doing the sea salt soak guarantee preventing an infection ?

You are totally fine about squeezing the ring through the hole. Its like if your ears closed and you struggle to put it through your fine xoxo

Technically speaking yes, it was bad because their could have been germs on your jewelry or even on your skin.
However, I've done this for many years with many piercings and never had any complications.
Soaking will help keep it clean but it cannot guarantee preventing infection, but it will most certainly help.
You should be fine and if it gets infected I'm sure an antibiotic prescription from your doctor will clear it up.
